  1. Re:another copy on LOTR: War of the Ring Real-Time Strategy Game · · Score: 0

    no, it won't. StarCraft is and always will be. back to the topic: i was just thinking how great it would be for there to be a LOTR RTS game (other than WC3 custom made maps for b-net)... and 2 days later, i see this... I really hope they do a good job and allow the same map making abilities as blizzard games. (btw, too lazy to read the entire article, but who's developing this?)

    un-named sources say that if you have physical access to a computer, all you have to do to gain ownership of that computer is take it to your house! The same story says the only 100% safe precaution you can take to avoid someone from stealing your computer is to take it with you at all times.

    Unless you're a politician watching CNN (answer a poll) or a house wife (or husband) who wants to waste as much of your spouse's money in the shortest amount of time possible (shopping on TV). This has its uses, until internet is fast enough to have high quality live TV on it full time (and cheap enough to be in every household)

  14. Re:'Fossil fuels' are not! on Mining Asteroids@Home · · Score: 0

    no, the theory is not dinosaurs as much as it is plant life. Think about it, there was a lot more plant life back then than animal life. Some dinosaurs eat their body weight in plants on a daily/weekly/monthly basis (more than in their lifetime). Anyone who thinks it's dinosaurs and dinosaurs alone needs to brush up on their stuff.

  15. Re:You mean growth in M3, not actual price inflati on The Future of Money · · Score: 0

    more and more kids are turning to video games (baby boomer's children, so there are a lot of them), so more and more money is going into the video game market - it most certainly is inflating... the word "inflation" may not be right, but it's the same idea. i used to be able to play claw for 25 cents (1 year ago).... now it's a dollar from the same bowling alley. if you've ever been to the sega place in the irvine spectrum (CA.. i doubt many of you know what i'm talking about), it costs a dollar to play the average video game... which is ridiculous, but oh well. I remember it used to be a lot less money there. There can still be inflation in certain markets, even if the general economy is experiencing deflation. Take Japan for example... video game prices are going up (more than the extra cost of making them these days)

  18. Re:Revenue booster? on California Considering More Internet Taxes · · Score: 0

    but the fact that they can dodge sales tax by doing so

    sorry, i have yet to find an internet store that does not charge sales tax. every time i've been charged 7.55 (or whatever)% on everything i buy on the internet for state taxes.

    and remember, they're still charged shipping, so even if the tax is cut out like you say (which it's not), they're still paying more and getting poorer. If it's a big product and the tax is more than shipping, then the poor person should be smart enough to buy it online. everyone has access to the internet in the united states, unless you live in the middle of nowhere in your truck. just drive to the nearest library or highschool, they'll let you use the internet if you ask nicely.

    1 millionth of a calorie is enough energy to heat 1/1,000,000 grams of water 1 degree or something like that. 1 million times the data would be the opposite of that. 1 mbit (with a lower case m) means 1 millionth of a bit, which is impossible, since bits only come in wholes.
